Warning: Once a player had changed their nickname, the old nickname is put into a cool-down period. During the cool-down period, the nickname is not available for any new user to take. The cool-down period is active for 30 days from the date of the change. This mechanism was put in place to protect players, by avoiding confusion and preventing the “stealing” of nicknames.

This mechanism does not affect the two-week cool-down period on user nickname change. A player can change their name freely again after two weeks. However, it is not possible to take back the old nickname before the 30 day old-nickname cool-down expires.
